The line of march ended at the Athenaeum, where an interesting program was put on by the Scout Drum and Bugle corps, followed by stunts and demonstrations by the various district organizations. A group of Indianapolis BoyScouts enjoyed an overnight hike along Clear Creek last Saturday. They broke camp early Sunday iorning in time to meet members of the Nature Study club of Indianapolis for an Easter service aLRiverside Park at 5:30 o'clock. Four Indianapolis Boy Scouts took a hike through southern Indiana last week. The object of their trip was the study of birds, and the boys have a list of 49 different kinds seen during their outing. A Rainy Day and An Old Attic Oh- what shall we do, fretted Helen Louise. Why, dear, what is the matter, asked her mother. Oh it has been raining for a long time and I just don't know what to do. Why I know, answered her mother after a long hesitation, why don't you call your girl friends and ask them to go up to the attic. There are a lot of things up there to do. Just the thing, said Helen Louise. I will go afttr them in the machine, mother dear, if you don't mind. John can take me. Why of course, hop along, answered her mother. She was back in about 20 minutes with three girl friends. Nellie Smith, Harriet Burns, Opal Larme. They went up to the attic. The attic was a large room with two trunks, two broken down chairs, an old stand table, dresser, and spinning wheel. Of course they wanted to open the trunks first. They first opened the black trunk. It had a lot of dresses in it. Oh, let's dress up, sighed Harriet, who fancied it wa3 fine to dress up. Oh, no, let's look in the other trunk. There was not much only two hats, one pair slippers, some plumes, and other articles. Now let's dress up, cried Harriet. Oh, well come on girls. You are my company. So each put on an old fashion dress. Nellie Smith was leaning against the wall when flop, her hand went through the wall. It was a little door with wall paper over it. Oh, cried Helen, getting excited, what is it, what is it. In it was a Bmall book with a red cover and gilt edges. It was the diary of her great mothers. There was also a small silver ring with ruby sets in it. Inside there was H. M. B. Helen took it to her mother. Her mother said it was her greatmother's ring. Her name was Helen Martha Brown. It was time to go home then. Each of the girls said goodbye to Helen Louise and her mother and said they had had a very good time. Helen Louise asked who the ring belonged to now. Her mother said she could have it but must be very careful and not lose it. She promised. Helen Louise put it on her finger and promised never to part with it because it had belonged to somebody that had loved it very dearly. Mildred Gardner, Garfield school. A CERTAIN STAMP. A certain United States postage stamp, issued in the days before Uncle Sam began supplying cancellation devices to his postmasters, received the cancellation mark "Used Up." This inking was accomplished with the aid of either a piece of wood or a bit of cork which had been skillfully whittled by a postoffice employee. Recently this particular stamp was sold to a collector for $7.50. Without the wording "Used Up" on it the adhesive would have been worth only one , cent. Its enhanced value was because of the fact that so far as philatelists know this stamp is the only one which has ever been discovered with this curious cancellation American Boy.

Girl. Foi'en, Sets Miss Marie Hillegas. Miss Marie Hillegas of Philadelphia, representing the Turgnemeide Swimming club, recently broke the American record for the 100-yard breast stroke by making the distance in one minute and 28 seconds at Philadelphia. She is only 14 years old. 'Booster" Campaign Launched at "Y" Perhaps you remember a time when your pal and you were hiking it down a country road one summer's day and all of a sudden you looked up and saw the juiciest looking apple imaginable dangling over the roadway from the apple tree Inside the fence. But the ap ple, alas was beyond your reach What could be done? Your pal was no taller ' than you, still oh, all of a sudden you had a thought Your pal could climb up on your hands and on the high fence with you pushing him. So the apple was secured and, oh my, didn't it taste good and all because of a little "boosting." Something mighty good was reached by a little climbing and a little "boosting." That's the idea in the "Booster" campaign now being carried on in the Boys' Division of the "Y" under the direction of Mr. Beaty, Boys' Secretary, to help other fellows to reach the "good things" of the "Y" by a little "boosting" done by the fellows who know what a dandy thing it is to be a "Y" member. The contest began the first of April and will close May 31st. Each month there will be a "Boosters" feed. Each boy who is at present a member of the association and who has brought in, at least one new member can come to these "feeds." These boys will have their names placed on the Honor Roll of the Boys' Division. At the end of the second month, each boy who has brought in six or more new members will receive a beauty of a gold button. Those who have secured four new members will receive a silver button, and those who have brought fn two members will be awarded a bronze button. All these buttons are good looking and worth while to own, and best of all there will be a bigger bunch of fellows to hare good times with, at the "Y." A NEW DISEASE. Little Margaret had just recovered from the chicken pox. Her mother had company one flay and one of the ladies asked her the nature of her illness. Margaret thought for a while, but could not remember the name, (She knew it sounded like something that came from the butcher's and finally said : "Oh, I know. I had the lamb chops." 111. News.

RICHMOND, INDIANA, SATURDAY, APRIL

Swimming Record We Had A Fine Time One Friday evening when I came home from school it had been snowing. So I thought in the morning I would make a snow man and a fort. I went over and told my cousin to come over in the morning about 7 o'clock. I could hardly wait, but 7 o'clock came. I told him I was going to make a snow man and a fort. He said, "All right." We went to work to make the snow man. About the time my cousin had a nice big snowball rolled up he slipped and got his face full of snow. I said, "Let's go in and get warm." We went in and got warm and came out again. We made the snow man in about 15 minutes. The snow fort was easy to make. My cousin got behind the fort and began snowballing me instead of the snow man. He hit me in the side of the face. I picked up a snowball and hit him in the same place. We had a fine time the rest of the morning. Robert Chesnut, 5B, Starr school. Verses of Spring l love the merry spring. When the birds begin to sing, When the violets raise their heads And the crocus peeps out of her bed Have you heard the brook as it flows along? Have you heard the robin sing his cheery song? Have you heard the south wind whisper to the trees? Saying to the little buds You better put out your leaves. There was a little bluebird sitting " In a tree He chirped and he sang as happy as could be. 2A Winifred Bryan. The brown thrush is a pretty bird And wears a speckled breast He sits up in the tallest trees And sings and sings his best. By Alice Margaret Test. Most of these are co-operative verses from grade 2AB, 3B, Joseph Moore.
